Question 1

How to Maintain and Repair an Automatic Transmission Filter in the 42RLE System on Chrysler 300?

Accepted Answer

Use Mopar® ATF+4 when servicing the 42RLE Automatic Transmission fluid and always change the filter at the time of oil change. Rub the magnet in the oil pan carefully using a dry and clean cloth. If you take the transmission apart, always change the fluid and the filter. Lift the wheels into the air on a hoist and put a container for transmission fluid under the oil pan before draining. One bolt on the sump has a seal already attached which should be removed after use. Loosen the bolts around the pan with a wrench and hit one corner to get the pan loose and then allow the liquid to flow out before taking it off. Set a replacement filter and O-ring beneath the valve body and tighten the screws that secure them to 5 Nm (45 in. lbs.). Prior to adding the oil pan bolt at the indicated place, renew the sealing patch with Mopar® Lock & Seal Adhesive. Clean both the oil pan and the magnet and after that, attach the pan again and secure it with Mopar® Silicone Adhesive Sealant, torquing the oil pan bolts to 20 Nm (14.5 ft. lbs.). Pour four quarts of Mopar® ATF+4 down the dipstick, start the engine and let it run for a full minute. While the parking and service brakes are on, take the selector lever through all the positions, ending it in park or neutral. Check how much transmission fluid you have and add enough to ensure that the lowest mark you see is only 3mm (1/8 in.) from the top of the dipstick. Check the fluid again after the transmission has warmed up to 82°C (180°F) and fix it properly on the dipstick tube to keep dirt out of the transmission.

Question 2

What Steps Are Required for Automatic Transmission Filter and Fluid Service on Chrysler Town & Country?

Accepted Answer

Please use only Mopar® ATF+4 fluid for the transmission, change the filter at the oil change time and clean the magnet in the oil pan with a clean, dry cloth. Should the transaxle be disassembled, the fluid and filter should be replaced. Before performing the fluid and filter service, raise your vehicle on a hoist and place a drain container below the transaxle oil pan. Unfasten the pan bolts and hit one corner of the pan to dislodge it, so fluid will flow out before you remove it. Install fresh filters and O-ring on the bottom of the valve body, rinse the oil pan and magnet with soap and water and reattach the pan using Mopar Silicone Adhesive tightly binding it with 19 Nm (165 in. lbs.). Put four quarts of Mopar® ATF+4 into the barrel with the dipstick, turn on the engine and let it run idle for a full minute. After putting both your foot brakes on, gently change the selector to each gear before returning it to park or neutral. Ensure the transaxle fluid level is at 3 mm (1/8 in.) below the lowest index on the dipstick and then recheck it when the transaxle cools back down to the normal 82°C (180°F). Make sure the dipstick is all the way down before you remove it, to stop dirt from getting into the transaxle. To use the dipstick tube fluid suction, check that the transaxle is fully heated up, pick the right vacuum suction device, lower the suction line into the dipstick tube until it's touching the lowest part of the transaxle oil pan for all the fluid to be absorbed. After taking out the suction line, add four quarts of Mopar® ATF+4 through the dipstick, start the engine and use the dipstick to check and adjust the fluid as you did before.
